Night’s Nomenclature

The young man suddenly turned back to look at the big willow tree in front of him, and saw a milky white fruit picked from another willow branch from somewhere in the crown and handed to him.

Qingchen watched silently, and the terrifying big willow tree even raised its branches and leaves and pointed at his mouth, as if a palm was making a "please eat" gesture.

To be honest, Qingchen was really a little confused. He approached the big willow tree because he instinctively thought that the other party would not hurt him, but this act of inviting him to eat did make him a little... flattered?

He was so terrifying to others, yet he was invited to eat!

Qingchen thought for a while and suddenly laughed: "If you really want to kill me, you don't have to go to such trouble, right?"

After that, he ate up the fruit in a few mouthfuls.

The fruit doesn't seem to be much different from an apple, but it tastes like an egg.

There is no magical melt-in-your-mouth scene as imagined, and there is no special feeling.

Qingchen glanced at the big willow tree with some doubts, but there was no movement from the other side.

"Thank you," the boy said and turned to leave.

But just as he turned around, a strong wind swept across the hinterland of the forbidden land. Someone was whispering something in the wind, as if they were talking or singing. It was hard to hear what they were saying, but Qingchen could Understand what the other person means.

This feeling was a bit strange, as if someone had directly conveyed his thoughts to his heart.

The voice was kind and warm.

Qingchen suddenly looked back at the depths of the hinterland, thoughtfully: "Are you saying that someone is already chasing me and I can't defeat him?"

Another gust of warm wind surrounded him.

Qingchen said doubtfully: "I'm still young, so it's normal that I can't beat him..."

Why did he suddenly start to comfort himself?

He thought for a while and then asked sincerely: "Then what do you think I should do?"

But I saw the willow branch lifted up, pointing to the west like a hand.

"You want me to climb that mountain?" Qingchen was finally sure at this moment that the person he was talking to was probably the will of a certain ancestor. The person was buried here, but he protected the younger generation like an elder.

The young man bowed deeply towards the hinterland: "Thank you."

After saying that, he ran wildly to the west.

Qingchen once asked Li Shutong, when will he climb that mountain? After all, they came here just to climb the mountain.

But Li Shutong took him to familiarize himself with the forbidden place, but always said that the time had not come yet.

Qingchen asked why the time had not come yet.

Li Shutong replied: Although you have mastered the skills, you are still missing a chance. Climbing that mountain ultimately depends not on skills, but on the courage to make the move without regrets.

At that time Qingchen said, Teacher, please explain to the translator, what is the courage to make a mistake without regrets.

Li Shutong smiled and said nothing.

Now Qingchen understands that it turns out that someone is chasing him...

…

Not long after Qingchen left the big willow tree.

Li Shutong walked leisurely to the willow tree with his hands behind his back.

The corpses had been eaten by ants and turned into dry bones, and the blood on the ground had been absorbed by weeds and roots without a trace.

"You directly gave him food and pointed out the timing and the way to go. This is a bit cheating," Li Shutong said with emotion: "Fortunately, there is nothing in the world that can cleanse and cut the marrow in story books, otherwise wouldn't you Should we pick them together and give them to him?"

No one in the woods responded to Li Shutong, he seemed to still be talking to the air.

Only the branches of the big willow tree were dangling, looking a little triumphant.

Li Shutong sighed: "I didn't receive this kind of treatment back then. You yourself talked about fairness and justice day by day, but in the end you treated him differently and helped him cheat?"

"But...it seems like there's nothing wrong with cheating on your own territory!"

"To be honest, I really didn't expect that someone could use Master's rules that hate Mai Ba to kill people. It's so unexpected..."

"It's hard for you to judge whether this is a kind of wisdom... But you have also seen that this is the first time I have seen a student who can use the rules to kill so many enemies as an ordinary person in Forbidden Land No. 002."

Having said this, Li Shutong suddenly looked into the distance and even asked with some pride: "Everyone, am I better at recruiting students than you are?"

"No, no," Li Shutong shook his head: "It seems that he has been harmed as well. Doesn't this mean that I am not as good as him..."

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I have found the successor, and you probably can't foresee what kind of changes he will bring to the legacy of the Knights organization. In short, it will be very good."

"I'm going to do my own thing next."

No one responded to Li Shutong's words.

The entire Forbidden Land No. 002 is the tomb of knights. He is like a junior facing the tombstone of his elders, talking nonsense.

Don't worry about whether the other party can hear you, just be able to distract your thoughts.

The next moment, the howling of the wind came from the hinterland of the forbidden land. Li Shutong listened carefully to the sound in the wind, but his expression changed: "What do you mean I don't help him? It's because he doesn't let me help!"

Another gust of wind blew, and Li Shutong listened to the voice in the wind and said angrily: "What do you mean you don't even have taboo items on your body? When did taboo items become standard equipment for knights? How come I haven't heard of them, and I didn't see my master giving them to me at first?" Me! Stop yelling, it’s easy for children to be spoiled if they are separated from each other!"

…

Countdown to 52:00:00.

8 o'clock at night.

Qingchen leaned on a tree trunk and panted slightly. He had run since the afternoon, but he still didn't see the shadow of the mountain.

Hungry, he dug into his pocket and found only a piece of chocolate that Qin Yiyi had secretly stuffed into him before leaving.

Before he could eat, Qingchen suddenly became alert, got up and continued running west.

It wasn't until I ran a few kilometers that I sat down again.

He was so hungry and overtired that he began to experience mild symptoms of collapse.

But whenever he wanted to stop for something to eat, he could always feel the sense of crisis everywhere behind him.

At this time, the boy tore open the tin foil wrapping the chocolate, and the chocolate inside was almost warmed.

He chewed hard, and finally even the chocolate syrup that melted on the tin foil was licked into his mouth.

It wasn't until he finished eating the chocolate that he finally felt a little more at ease.

But the food was still not enough.

I obviously ate the white fruit given by Daliushu before, but why did I feel that it was useless at all.

Qingchen took out his dagger, scraped off a piece of bark from the tree trunk, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed hard.

The bark is unpalatable, soft in places and so hard in other places that it is difficult to swallow and has to be spit out.

The next moment Qingchen seemed to notice something, and after cursing secretly in his heart, he stood up and continued to run for his life.

Not long after, Cao Wei appeared quietly with his luggage on his back. He looked at the tinfoil on the ground and the spitted bark.

The corners of Cao Wei's mouth raised slightly: I found you.

Cao Wei's eyes are particularly bright at night. This is the powerful sensory ability gifted to him by the genetic medicine.

There are many types of genetic medicines. Each genetic medicine will enhance the body, but this is only the basis. For example, the FDE gene agent injected by Liu Dezhu can enhance the strength of the lower limbs, while the injection by Cao Wei enhances the senses.

Better vision, hearing, smell, taste.

Therefore, he could frequently find traces of Qingchen in this vast forbidden land.

Just when he was about to continue the pursuit, Cao Wei discovered that a layer of bark had been peeled off the tree trunk, and someone had carved a very small word on it.

"grip?"

Cao Wei looked up and looked around, and soon found another piece of tree trunk with the bark peeled off, with another small character engraved on it: Cao.

He was confused: "Cao Zha?"

wrong.

Just when he was about to read the two words upside down, his mouth stopped.

Cao Wei sneered. He knew far more rules than others imagined.

For this trip, he went to the black market and bought two new rules about the forbidden land No. 002: no killing, no swearing.

A trace of doubt arose in Cao Wei's heart: The young man was still trying to kill himself with rules.

The other party should obviously be at the end of his rope, but he can still set a trap for himself when he has to chew the bark of a tree?

Is this really an ordinary person?
